Dramatic scenes were witnessed on the last day of filing nominations; BJP opposes NCP’s Mumbai candidate; Congress says no ‘friendly fights’ in MVA; clear picture expected only after Deepavali
Mumbai : Maharashtra witnessed dramatic scenes on the last day to file nominations for the Assembly Election , with confusion in both the ruling and Opposition alliances regarding their exact formulas for seat-sharing. For both the Mahayuti and the Maha Vikas Aghadi, full clarity is only likely to arrive after Deepavali when the deadline to withdraw nominations arrives on November 4.
While a Pawar vs Pawar battle unfolded in Baramati where Sharad Pawar and his nephew are engaged in a new war of words , drama was seen in Mumbai too when the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party leader Nawab Malik filed his nomination papers despite heavy opposition from his supposed ally, the BJP. The BJP later issued a statement saying it would not canvas for a leader who allegedly has links with the gangster Dawood Ibrahim.
